Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.

To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).

The featured colour this week is Pastel Colour Palette
Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection:(with example colours)

The contest will run week to week, to provide enough time for entrants to colour in the pattern. It's Zen for a reason!

You can add lines and shapes, so long as the main pattern remains visible.

All accepted entries will be resteemed by me and the following badge will appear on your entry post, so that you know it has been accepted:

The inspiration for this stencil is cats, BIG ones! The main design is of course a lions face and the patterns inside some sections resemble those of other big cats. A tiger's stripes, a cheetah's dots, a jaguar's patches and a leopard's spots. Another animal for the creatures & critters collection of this contest's stencils!

Honourable Mention, Well done!!
